New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2006. 269 p. ; 24 cm. Australian artist Michael "Butcher Bones" Boone's fame seems to have come and gone. Now living with his brother in Sydney, they're caretaking a house while Butcher scrounges what supplies he can and purloins the rest. Then Marlene Leibovitz, daughter-in-law of the late, great painter Jacques Leibovitz, comes into his life. Although married, she falls in love with Butcher and visa versa. Unfortunately for Butcher, she's also a criminally pathological liar who soon has him and his brother involved in the forgery of a lost Leibovitz. 20061019. Artists Australia Fiction.
